Set aside. In a saucepan, melt honey, coffee, butter, chocolate chips. Stir often. Add 2 eggs, one at a time to saucepan. Mix well. Add flour mixture to saucepan. Stir well. Add walnuts, chopped to pan. Pour brownie mixture into greased 8x8" pan, bottom lined with greased wax paper. Bake in 325°F oven for 25 minutes. Remove from oven. Brush brownie top with: coffee, rum, or Kahlua (I used amaretto). Cool completely. Remove from pan. Set aside. Frosting: Cream softened butter with mixer until light and fluffy. Add, very gradually, confectioners sugar until smooth. Add vanilla. I used amaretto to taste. If necessary, add a little milk to make frosting smoother and more spreadable. Spread over cooled brownie. Refrigerate until quite cold. Chocolate Topping: Melt chocolate chips, butter, and vegetable shortening in double boiler. Mix well. Pour over the layer of frosting. Spread evenly. Sprinkle almond slices over top, if desired. Cool. Cut into small squares. It's helpful to cut into pieces or at least score chocolate layer before the chocolate is completely hardened. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
